Thinking of You

Okay, this blog in itself may sound really stupid but I think studying is stupid. Yes, you read it right. I think studying in schools, colleges and universities is stupid. The reason behind this bizarre statement is I don't feel that whatever we learn is applied to whatever we do when we enter our working life. As I've heard, the Germans don't really emphasize on studying. Some teenagers there spend their late adolescence working instead of studying. I feel that when you do actually work, you could learn more from experience. Of course studying has it's benefits but on hand work is the best. Say your mum gave you directions to Taj Mahal. She shows you the map, you have to turn left at Slumdog, then make a U-turn at Mumbai but before that make sure you see Jamal on your right, if not, you're not on the right path. Then only you could see Taj Mahal. Okay, that was actually a lame joke with the insertion of popular landmarks of India. But my point is that, handing out directions might seem like a simple task. But when you actually learn is when you apply what you have been told to the core. You are bound to make mistakes but from those mistakes, you learn.

Okay, it all might sound crap to you guys. But seriously, I don't think we really need education. Yeah, learning add maths is just for general knowledge. I mean not everyone will use it. Engineers might though. But my point is, we don't know what we will become when we get into adulthood. My mum wanted to become a teacher and now she's a dentist. I wanted to become a lawyer but I'm studying business. Maybe I'm just crapping because I'm not that smart and I despise studying but this is all my views. As stupid as it may sound, I think it's better to work first then only study about what you're doing.
